RANGERS are braced for the release of a tape of the dramatic board meeting that led to the ousting of former chief executive Charles Green.

The meeting – one of the most controversial in the club’s entire history – has reputedly been recorded on a tape which is now set to be put on the internet.

An email sent by someone going by the name of Joe Ninety has threatened to make the meeting public at the conclusion of the internal Rangers investigation into Green’s links with disgraced ex-chairman Craig Whyte.

The meeting – on April 13 – saw Green grilled by his fellow directors about Whyte. He was put on “gardening leave” and resigned from Rangers six days later on April 19.

The threat to go public with the boardroom tape comes after the release of a recorded conversation between sacked Rangers commercial director Imran Ahmad and underfire chairman Malcolm Murray, which has been made public via a Twitter account.

The same emailer is involved with both tapes. In a reference to the Rangers internal commission, the emailer claims: “Have VR (voice recording) of board meeting discussing sacking IA (Imran Ahmad)/CG (Charles Green) whatever happens to prove this but will release this after commission is finished.”

The email goes on to claim Walter Smith and the rest of the club’s non-executive directors (NEDs) will be booted off the board at an extraordinary general meeting of Rangers shareholders.

The meeting has been called for by controversial tycoon brothers, Sandy and James Easdale, who are expected to buy Ahmad and Green’s Rangers shares.

It claims: “Rangers NEDs will all be voted out at EGM for gross negligence.”
